The text that I will be writing about in my analytical research paper is a show called Naruto. Child neglect is something that is not shown much to people and is also very hard to prove because there are so many different forms of child neglect that a child can feel. This will lead to the child as an adult will have post-traumatic stress(PTSD), educational difficulties, low self-esteem, trouble forming and maintaining the relationship, and depression. We need to address the child neglect problem so that America and the rest of the world will have a reliable future.

In the show, a boy named Naruto suffers from child neglect since he has the nine tail fox, which had destroyed attacked the village and killed many people, sealed in him, and everyone treated as an outcast. Naruto was not the only person in the show who went through child neglect. There were also people like Kakashi and Gaara who also went through similar child neglect. This is something I felt like talking about in my essay because it is not a problem that many people will talk about, but in fact, a problem that we should see more since child neglect cases are rising every year as well as child abuse right next to it. Forms of neglect that are common factors are physical neglect, medical neglect, educational neglect, and emotional neglect that can be seen in today’s cases in America and also around the world. The leading cause for most children that get abuse is the fact that many of the parents are substance users, single parenting, or marital conflicts that break the house apart and leave the child in the middle. I believe if this problem can be brought to light then more people can speak out for children who are afraid to speak up for themselves.

    Quite interesting choice of media to analyze. I would have never thought to analyze Naruto. It is one of my favorite shows so I am curious on how you will critically analyze such a great show. Now that I'm thinking about it, you have so many options to choose from since you chose the topic of neglect. You could have the ones that you stated (Naruto, Gaara, and Kakashi being neglected) and you could have talk a bit about discrimination, i.e, Kushina (Naruto's mom). Her hair is red which gets made fun of a lot. You could talk about all of the jinchurikis and how they all suffered criticism because of how different they are. You definitely have a lot of ideas to choose from to create a wonderful essay. Good luck!
